Have had almost a month, it has impressed me every time I use it.  This happens to be our first LG product, and everything seems to be all we were looking for. Very large tub, excellent for our needs. The way it washes took some getting used to, but it really cleans the clothes. We noticed an improvement immediately. New technology is exhibited in this machine. Makes washing clothes simple and easy.  Very quiet and well-balanced spin cycle. Direct Drive makes it seem stouter and smoother operation.
